Shi Miao turned around and hadn't taken more than a few steps when she saw Ji Yanchen walking towards her with an umbrella.
The man quickly walked up to her, handed the umbrella to Shi Miao, and took out a scarf from the bag and wrapped it around her neck.
Shi Miao glanced down at the scarf around her neck, her eyes softening slightly, and she smiled, "When did you get back?"
"I came straight here as soon as I got back." Ji Yanchen straightened her scarf, took the umbrella from her hand, and then took her hand in his.
"Let's go, what do you want to eat?" Ji Yanchen put Shi Miao's hand into his coat pocket.
Ah, I'm craving your cooking.
A faint smile played in Ji Yanchen's eyes, and his thin lips curled up. "Okay."
Shi Miao suddenly stopped and stretched her hand out of the umbrella. Snowflakes fluttered down and landed on her palm, then melted instantly.
Ji Yanchen turned his head to look at the girl's bright profile, his eyes filled with a subtle tenderness. "What's wrong?"
"I didn't expect to have been in H City for so long..." Shi Miao withdrew her hand and shook off the water droplets.
"Yes, when will you make me a full-time employee?" Ji Yanchen turned around and pulled the girl into his arms with one hand, his voice slightly hoarse.
Shi Miao's face was pressed tightly against his chest, the man's clear and powerful heartbeat came from beside her ear, and a cool snow lotus fragrance lingered around her nose.
Shi Miao looked up and met Ji Yanchen's gaze. Her eyes sparkled, and a smile played on her lips. "Now we can."
Ji Yanchen's dark eyes shone with intense passion as he tightened his grip on her arm.
The next second, he slowly lowered his body and placed a kiss on Shi Miao's forehead.
......
The two returned to Lanting Apartment. As soon as Ji Yanchen opened the door, Ji Sinian's voice came from behind him, "Uncle, Sister Miao, where did you go?"
Shi Miao turned around, a slight look of surprise flashing in her eyes. "What are you doing here?"
“Didn’t I tell you before that I was going to move in with Brother Ye?” Ji Sinian scratched his head.
Upon hearing this, Ji Yanchen couldn't help but frown and said in a deep voice, "Ye Chuan agreed?"
"Of course I agreed, he must be bored living alone."
"You're back! Have you eaten? Would you mind if we had two more people?" Ye Chuan poked his head out from across the hall.
Shi Miao pointed at Ji Yanchen, "Not yet, he's cooking."
"Damn, I want to eat my uncle's cooking." Ji Sinian said and walked in by himself.
"I'll help you too, Brother Chen!" Ye Chuan called out.
Ji Yanchen: "......"
Shi Miao touched the bridge of her nose, looked up at him, and said, "Cough, let's go in."
Ji Yanchen gave a helpless smile and said, "Mm."
......
"Damn it, Sister Miao, come pick me up! The enemy jungler is chasing me!" Ji Sinian shouted without looking up as he controlled his character in the game.
"Tsk, here you are." Shi Miao's lips twitched slightly upon hearing this, and he spoke lazily.
Soon, Shi Miao led Ji Sinian to a 2v5 victory, crushing the opposing team.
"Wow, that's beautiful, Sister Miao!" Ji Sinian exclaimed excitedly as he looked at the word "Victory" on the screen.
"Si Nian, stop playing games and come help us bring the dishes to the table," Ye Chuan's voice came from the kitchen.
"Ah, okay." Ji Sinian reluctantly put down his phone and got up to walk towards the kitchen.
Shi Miao nestled on the sofa and started playing a game.
Her phone suddenly rang; it was Gu Wanqing calling. She closed the game and swiped to answer.
"Miaomiao, what are you doing? Why haven't you called your mother yet?" Gu Wanqing's worried voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I went to Grandpa's. I just got back a short while ago," Shi Miao said softly, her eyes warming slightly.
Have you eaten yet?
Just as Shi Miao was about to speak, Ji Yanchen walked over and sat down beside her. "Who are you talking to on the phone?"
"Miaomiao, I hear a man's voice. Where are you?"
Shi Miao coughed, "I'm with my boyfriend..."
"What? When did you get a boyfriend? Why didn't you tell Mom?" Gu Wanqing exclaimed in surprise.
"Too many things to do, I forgot."
"You silly child, when are you going to bring me to see your mother?" Gu Wanqing said with a smile.
"I'll definitely do it next time."
"What do you mean 'next time'? I think this weekend is fine. I'm in H city anyway, let's have a meal together."
"That's fine too."
......
After Shi Miao hung up the phone, Ji Yanchen pulled her into his arms, raising an eyebrow slightly, "What do you mean, 'next time for sure'?"
"My mom wants to see you, this weekend." Shi Miao looked up at him, her eyes upturned, her expression nonchalant and lazy.
Ji Yanchen was taken aback for a moment, then his expression softened and he squeezed her hand. "Okay."
"Uncle, Sister Miao, dinner's ready!" Ji Sinian called out as he walked out of the kitchen with chopsticks in hand.
Ji Yanchen released Shi Miao, stood up, and smiled slightly. "Let's go."
